Past places even referred to a project I did as “doryized,” and though this quality can even drive me nuts, it’s been very helpful in my life. I always keep with me my medical files, taxes (current and 1 year previous), travel assignment records, personal banking and financial information, home and vehicle records, passport, and birth certificate. I also travel with a folder on family and friend contacts since I am an avid correspondent. I like to update these files in my spare time and also work on my tax information all through the year so tax season doesn’t make me crazy. George Foreman Lean Machine Grill for one/Body Ball exerciser. These two squats exercises. I also bring my fitness book to record my goals and progress as I work on my “fit and fabulous” part of turning 50. The grill lets me enjoy tasty chicken and seafood quickly and with easy cleanup.
